Be it known that I, EDWARD J. I-InR'In a citizen of the United States,residing at No. 116 Grant avenue, Greenville, in the county of Hudson,State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements inLabels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in labels aflixed to cans and theobjects of my improvements are; first, to provide a label, one end ofwhich is permanently aflixed or attached to a can, upon which said endthe name of the product may be indicated while the balance of the label,with the exception of a final small part which shall be adhesivelyaffixed to the label, will be unattached to and unafiixed to andremovable from the can, it being my purpose andintention to provide alabel afiixed to a can that will permit the name of the indicatedproduct to be permanently afiixed to and show on the can while at thesame time the back and front of the remainder of the label may be usedand utilized for purposes of description, advertisements, recipe or forsuch other purposes that may be needed or desired. I attain theseobjects by the label and can illustrated in the accompanying two sheetsof drawings, in'which:

been placed the name of the indicated prod- Y i 7 not, as aforesaid,permanently remains upon the can.
